• "Each card in blackjack is worth its number value, two through ten. Jacks, queens, and kings are worth ten. Aces are worth one or eleven, so an ace and a three is four or fourteen."

  • "If you want to join a craps game, wait for a break when the dice are in the centre of the table. Then place your money down on the table and wait for your chips."

  • "Casinos are smart, they know that luck alone will get you nothing in the long run. That's why they trust the math of casino games while losing players rely more on luck."

  • "Every table game has its own maximum and minimum allowable bets, which are always indicated by a small sign on the table. Often the sign colour corresponds to the same colour chip, $5 tables are red, etc."

  • "Although roulette has a relatively high house edge, you can play for longer because an average table only sees about thirty spins an hour, compared to sixty games an hour for blackjack."
